I think i'm possibly going to build up a bmx ( freestyle ) since i have the chance. I was at the skatepark today on my scooter haha, but yea. My friend Tristan who is insane like tailwhips, 360's, decade's, like anything you can think, is getting a Fit S3 Aitken frame, and he will sell me his Federal Hamilton frame for $25. He also has some spare part's laying around that i can buy from him, and then i can just add on new part's. What would you guys reccomend for a cheap but good fork, and just other part's. Here is a link to the frame, it's in good condition too. http://www.jykkjapan.com/federal/archives/fd_hamilton.jpg

Yea he's hecka nice. He said he has some little part's, and he could probably build me up a wheelset. But i'd need fork, bar's, stem, seat, seat post, grips, tire's. Any reccomendation for these parts.

So far:

Fork:??
Bar's: S&M Slam XLT ( White )
Stem ( Elementary )
Seat: Jim Bauer Oddysey Junior seat ( or do you know where i can buy the red checkered seat, oddysey junior )
Seatpost:???
Grips: ???
Tires: ???
sprocket: ??
pedals?

Do you mean the opposite? Orange fork with green part's. I really need some help. Should i do that or buy a kink and then put the federal frame on it...

Nah, if the Hamilton frame is the same color as the one you posted put the oranage drive fork on it with some other orange parts and it'll be ace.

Gosh. For the whole custom part's it would be like $750...uhhhh. gosh. should i just get a complete, and then put the frame on...ehh can you guys reccomend some good completes.

No i was thinking about the Kink Whip. The seat on it, could i strip it since it's a slim, then i could put the federal frame on that, which would be better though federal or the kink frame. If i got the Kink Whip i could put like $100 into upgrade's what should i do.

Wouldn't the federal be better. Why should i get new bb bearing's. Hmmm, ehh so hard.

Don't get the Drive fork. The Drive forks have snapped all over the Guide for Bikes.

Punx
09-12-07, 10:42 PM
Haha. I don't know what to do. I need to talk to the guy what spare part's i can get from him. But if i can't get a lot of part's i'll probably buy a complete. Any reccomendations.

Eastern Trail Digger and do a frame swap if you want to keep it cheap.

Punx
09-12-07, 10:49 PM
Wow. WTP, that's an awesome IDEA!! $300 for the Traildigger and frame, then i can get a new seat post and seat. Any reccomendations.

Just wait with the seat and post, while it will get a decent bike it won't be perfect. I'm sure you'll be replacing parts eventually so be prepared. Thats just an idea to get you rolling.

Yea i understand. But i really hate the seat on it. I love pivotal seat's. I really want the Jim Bauer seat too and it's on sale. I have the extra money, plus i don't have to pay shipping again. But yea, do you have a reccomendation for a seat post. Also are lock on's worth it, if so which should i get.

wethepeople
09-12-07, 10:53 PM
Redline post, it's the cheapest pivotal and it will still hold your seat.

Lock ons are good for MTB's, they don't belong on a BMX.

09-12-07, 10:54 PM
No i mean't bar end's, also do they sell the redline post's on danscomp.com

wethepeople
09-12-07, 10:58 PM
Fly bar ends, I run them and love them. I haven't met anybody that doesn't like them, and they're dirt cheap. If you're talking about lockjaw type bar ends, don't bother.

Yes Dans has the post.

Traildigger $275

Am I the only one to realize that the seat and post do not work together?

09-12-07, 11:36 PM
they should.

They don't. Odyssey doesn't make pivotal seats. You need a pivotal seat for a pivotal post.

Gunz is right, I completely forgot that little fact.

Wait. What are you talking about. I thought the junior and senior oddysey seat's were pivotal. Crap, i'll look around for a better one then. What's a good light, cheap nice seat. Any reccomendation's on grip's?

Punx
09-13-07, 09:20 AM

Orange barends? It sounds like it's going to be lacking quite a bit of color coordination.
